POULTRY KEEPING IN ENGLAND.
By IVTss Louise V. Spencer.
One of my Christmas piesents was a
poultry paper published in England. It
shows the lively interest our trans Atlantic
cousins, particularly women, take in
fancy poultry. They have a "Ladies'
Poultry Club," managed in best up-to-date
style, with a number of challenge cups,
badges, medals, etc. An "Honorable
Poultry Ins.ructress" has just concluded
a three weeks' course of lectures and
practical instruction. A good many advertisements
by ' ladies," who breed and
exhibit largely "exporting to all parts of
the world," one stating a "vacancy" for
pupils. "Training given in all branches,
including carpentry, scientific breeding
and experimental work on the formation
of breeds." I have never seen the like
in an American journal. Can it be that
we are cenina tne times?
I am glad to And that among the Amer
ican chickens quoted and advertised Rose
Comb Rhode Island Reds, my favorite
breed, is well known and appreciated.
The food given pen birds on a large
poultry plant is practically the same proportion
that I give, except "horse flesh"
is said to he cheaper and more efficacious
than granulated meats. I never use the
granulated meats, as I can get beef heads
for fifteen cents each and, having found
my feeding of them a fine egg producer
as well as reasonably cheap, I have never
seen reason for changing. Still, if
"horse flesh" is cheaper and more efficacious,
I would like to get some.
This promises to be an exceptionally
fine year for poultry. The mild winter,
with plenty of green stuff growing, has
kept all birds in healthy, vigorous condition.
I am more firmly convinced than ever
that Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds are
the finest general-purpose fowl known.?

FOR THE FARM HORSE
When two horses become accustomed
to working together, don't change them.
In matching up the work teams mate
them in size, weight and disposition as
nearly as possible.
It is very hard on a prompt horse to
be obliged to work with a lazy one. The
wear and tear is great and unnecessary,
and a loss.
Never tolerate a man on a farm who
yanks, kicks or whips a horse.
In no case should the colt be allowed
to follow when the mare is at work.
Sow a good patch of carrots for the
horses th's year, if you never have before.
Do not bang the bits against the horse's
teeth. Be patient and he will open his
mouth.
Don't toggle your harnesses up with
strings. No surer way to invite trouble;
have everything stout.
Get a first-class horse dentist to look
over the teeth of every horse on the farm,
young and old.?Farm Journal, June, 1909.
